After detailed review of the functioning of JAC, it was felt that, not only apex JAC but also the local JACs have to be reactivated to carry on the course of sustained actions involving the entirety of the Accounts and Audit fraternity.

To begin with, the Convener would write to all the constituent organizations and enquire from them whether they are interested in continuing the function with commitment in the JAC at the apex as well as at local levels. Only those organizations who express their willingness to function under JAC would be taken as constituents of the apex JAC.

A next meeting of the apex JAC may be held on 26th July 2012 where it is expected that Unit representatives of all the constituent organizations would be available to participate in March to Parliament under the Banner of Confederation and in this meeting, not only the apex JAC but local JACs could be reconstituted. Thereafter, a decision of holding Convention shall be taken for the purpose of reorientation of the Charter of demands and approach for the persuasion of the demands.

The meeting also decided that, the address for the apex JAC shall be the address of the Convener and e-mail id shall be opened exclusively for apex JAC.

Your attention is invited to the decision taken in the last meeting of the apex JAC held on 29th April at Kolkata which are mentioned in the enclosed circular. Accordingly, you are requested to indicate whether your organization is desirous of continuing in the JAC both at the apex as also the local JAC levels. In other words it would mean that you give firm commitment that, you will implement all the decisions of the apex JAC and in the sustained struggle which would be launched from time to time. You are also requested kindly to ensure that, Unit representatives from all stations do come and participate in the March to Parliament on 26th July 2012 which is being organized by the Confederation. on the same day after the March to Parliament, the joint meeting of all the constituent organizations comprising oftheir apex as well as Unit leaders would take place at Chug Dharamsala, Udyan Marg, Opposite, BirlaMnadir, New Delhi 110001at 4p.m. and fresh apex JAC as well as local JACs could be constituted.

This meeting will also discuss and take decision of holding a Convention for the purpose of reorientation of the Charter of Demands and action programmes in support of the charter of demands.

I am directed to invite your kind attention
to our letter no. NFCAA/HQ/A-2/12/1001 dated
11th May, 2012 and state that, despite sincere efforts of the All
India Civil Accounts Employees Association and the All India Civil Accounts
Employees Association Category II to settle the issues of the employees through
mutual dialogue, the Civil Accounts authorities have taken the position of not
settling the problems of the employees and ignoring the requests of the
Employees organizations as well.

Since the above discussed situations are
untenable, members of both the Associations shall observe Protest Day on 8th
June 2012 against apathetic attitude of Civil Accounts Authorities by wearing
Black Badges for the whole day.

This is for your kind information and
necessary action please.

Thanking you,

Yours Sincerely,

Enclo: Charter of

MORE DECISIONS OF FEDERAL EXECUTIVE MEETING HELD AT DELHI ON 11TH MAY 2012

E-PAYMENT

In the Meeting the
introduction of “e-payment –Gateway” system was discussed. The salient features
of the system were discussed in length.

It has been noted that while the CGA
circulated the pilot study during December/2011, there was no such proposal for
extending the “e-payment gateway” to the CDDOs of the departmental DDOs. However,
as per the recent amendment made by the CGA in the Receipts and Payments Rules,
the electronic gateway was opened to the departmental DDOs also. So there is a possibility that in future, the
CDDOs may be allowed to upload voucher classification details and “e lekha”
upload directly by them to the CGA, on daily basis which may come to the
knowledge of the concerned PAOs, only during compilation of monthly
accounts. Thereby, it is feared that in
future, the importance of the accounting functions of the PAO would get
marginalized by the department.

Apart from the above,
it has been noted that the posts of Cashier, Cheque Writer as well as the work
of Expenditure Scroll Posting at PAO Level would be reduced, thereby; such
posts would be abolished in future.

After the discussion, it was finally decided upon that
every branch would discuss about the system in details and present their view
in paper in the ensuring CWC Meeting to be held in Pune, so that a consensus
can be arrived at that meeting. Till then opposition to e-payment shall
continue.

CADRE RESTRUCTURING

Cadre restructuring
is due for a long time. In our Civil Accounts Set up, Cadre Restructuring has
not been done for a pretty long time. Whereas,
in Revenue Departments particularly in CBEC/DBDT this issue has been taken care
of and in CBDT it is already approved by the Ministry of Finance. In CBEC it is on the move.

So it is presumed
that in other ministries also the same would be the case.

So it is high time
that we demand for the Cadre Restructuring so that some of our demands would be
filled up.

In this connection,
it is noted as per the recommendations of the VI CPC, the cadre

controlling authorities may undertake
“Restructuring” in line with their grant of grade pays according to
posts/scales. It was emphasized in the CPC Report to finish the task of
restructuring before the date

But so far our CGA has not taken any positive
step in this regard. The matter has not

even been initiated at the discussion level
with the representatives of the Associations.

So it was decided
unanimously in the meeting that all the Branches after discussion at their
level, shall submit written proposal so that a uniform decision may be taken at
the Federal Executive Meeting at Pune.

MEETING WITH
C.B.D.T.AUTHORITIES

The
delegation of Delhi based Federal Executive Members had met the Pr.CCA, CBDT on
13th March 2012 and requested him to convene a meeting with the
representatives of the Federation on the 12 items submitted though the letter
dated 13trh March 2012 itself. Though he
assured to convene the meeting, but no meeting was convened by him. He is not
having any intention to settle the demands. Further, the local administration
of Mumbai has been harassing the employees including the lady employees.

The meeting of the Federal Executive
directed Secretary General to write a fresh letter to Pr.CCA, CBDT and take
further course of action according to the demand of the situation.

CADERISATION
PROBLEM IN PAO, CRPF

After
encadrement of the employees of PAO, CRPF in the Civil Accounts Organisation,
supervisory cadres of the office have been granted the status of AAO but not the
Grade pay of Rs.4800/-. This being a serious anomaly the meeting adopted it as
a part of the Charter of Demands and also directed Secretary General to take up
the matter with CGA and CCA, MHA.

J.A.C. MEETING

apex JAC of Audit and Accounts Employees and Officers Organizations was held at
Kolkata on 29th April 2012. Many organizations including AIAOA were
present in the meeting and opined that the JAC at all levels should be revived.
As far as Civil Accounts is concerned, all available National Level office
Bearers were present. It has been deiced by the meeting that, all apex level
constituent organizations shall be written a letter seeking their commitment
for participation in all decisions of JAC. The representatives of JAC
constituents shall meet at Delhi on 26trh July 2012 after the March to
